In an SI engine, according to the book Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, knocking is produced due to the interaction of the shock wave and the expansion wave which together produce very high amplitude standing waves.
My question is, in knocking is there only one shock wave or multiple shock waves?
Would a single shock wave with a low pressure gradient (say 1 bar) be sufficient to damage the engine?
